I love snow... But on thursday I need to go to Glasgow to see 2 of my favourite bands and it looks like it's going to snow like a mofo all day, so that's no good.

I've just been out for an hour playing in the snow on my pushbike Lovely. Snow dislikers! Wrap up warm, stand under a lampost and look up next time it snows heavily. It's AWESOME.

I love snow.

Sledging, snow man building, snow ball fights...

I even love riding the SV in snow!! You have to be a lot slower, yes, and far more careful, but it's another skill to develop, so I appreciate the challenge.

Stay out of the car tyre tracks & you'll be fine. Also keep an eye out for those car drivers that don't realise braking distances are MASSIVELY affected, and tailgate in the snow!

Love it.

1" or 2" of snow and I love how the UK goes into near chaos and anarchy. Very rare we get much snow here (Glasgow) like we used to. Used to have to dig ourselves out of the house 20yr ago.

Love the sound after a heavy snow.

Had a couple of off's in the snow. Always infront of a large number of folk too. Who needs a sledge when you''re wearing 1-piece waterproofs?!
